non-technicalcompetencies engineers need to master [3], [4]. Lifelong learning is the continuous building ofskills and knowledge throughout the life of an individual [5] and is particularly important inprofessions such as engineering that experience continual change in response to rapiddevelopments in technology and regulations. Lifelong learning involves individualstranscending narrow domains of expertise by talking to others and sharing insights [6]. Forstudents to develop these skills, they must be able to realize when a problem or task falls outsideof their current expertise, actively seek knowledge from others, and understand how to obtaininformation from knowledgeable peers and mentors.Organizations benefit when employees feel

engineering performance[2,3,4]. Within the workplace, if a woman of color is theonly one (which she often is), she may tire of her preoccupation with defying stereotypes andchoose a different career[21].Research suggests that women of color may encounter difficulty advancing in their careers dueto the lack of role models in engineering companies. Role models demonstrate that success ispossible for individuals who look similar to them[14,18] and many provide direct assistance toothers serving as mentors. Of the 682 highest-level executives at 5 top technology companiesthat employ thousands of engineers, only 8 are black or Hispanic women[13]. This is unsurprising,given the low numbers of minority women who pursue engineering, and perpetuates the image
